"I believe that learning should be fun and engaging at its very heart, therefore I place a great importance on getting to know what makes my tutees tick so that I can design lessons which pique their intellectual curiosity and make it fun for them to learn. There are many ways to teach the same concept, and I see it as my role as a tutor to understand what my tutees both want and need, and to create a welcoming and judgement-free zone in which they can flourish. A big part of my teaching practice is building confidence and overcoming learners’ internal and external barriers to learning. One of the ways in which I do this is by reframing making mistakes as an important and necessary step on the path of learning, and getting tutees used to having their abilities gently stretched. Additionally, I make a point of getting my tutees to always explain their thought processes when answering questions, encouraging discussion around their learning. As a teacher, nothing gives me more joy than to see the learners in my care growing in confidence and ability, and going on to their future endeavours with a strong sense of self belief."
